I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at General Mills (Golden Valley, MN) in Oct 2019
Interview
My Interview Process with General Mills was well put together and communicated. Both HR and the hiring managers were positive, easy to communicate with, and very responsive. The Process is rigid (as expected): online application > phone screening > online assessments > on-site interview.
The on-site interview was well structured: a 15min introduction by HR, then 3 separate 45-minute interview's with managers and senior engineers (mainly consisting of situational STAR questions) and then wrapped up with a 45-minute social lunch with an engineer.
The hardest part of the process was waiting, I applied to the position online in May of 2019, I had a phone screening at the beginning of October 2019, and my on-site interview at the end of October 2019. Long, but worth it.
